Watch below as the Common Core official explains EXACTLY why President Donald Trump needs to dump Common Core ASAP!

School official Amanda August explains that under the new Common Core standards, students can get simple arithmetic wrong and still receive credit.

Transcript:

Amanda August: “But even under the new common core if even if they said 3 * 4 was 11, if they were able to explain their reasoning and explain how they came up with their answer. Really in words and oral explanation and they showed it in a picture but they just got the final answer wrong. We’re more focused on the how and the why.”

Parent: “Will we be correcting them?”

Amanda August: “Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. We want our students to compute correctly. But the emphasis is moving more to the explanation, and the how, and the why, and can I really talk through the procedures that I went through to get at this answer — and not just knowing its 12, but why it is 12. But the emphasis is really moving on toward the explanation and the how and the why and can I really talk through the procedures that I went through to get the answer.”

A group of Seattle Doctors is going against the trend of our nation, which in recent years has shown a rise in legislation to limit or eliminate vaccine opt-outs. The caveat? They want opt-outs available for all but the measles vaccine. These Doctors want to allow personal and religious opt-outs for all other vaccines. It is being called Childhood Vaccine Exemption Policy: The Case for a Less Restrictive Alternative. Yesterday, it was published in the Journal Pediatrics (source). Seattle sits just north of one of the most restrictive states in the country when it comes to vaccine legislation in California. This new approach runs extremely counter to Seattle’s southern neighbors.

Seattle Children’s expert Dr. Douglas Opel and his colleagues who are responsible for the proposal claim the current status quo for legislation infringes on personal liberty and most of all, just doesn’t work. According to the Seattle Times, this is about creating a sustainable policy. Opel feels Measles is the only real problematic issue when it comes to being a contagion, which leads him to the hypothesis that the current legislations, particularly in California, just don’t work.

“We’re realizing that it’s not a scientific and ethical approach,” said Opel, who specializes in pediatrics and bioethics. “This is less about letting parents choose than about developing sound, sustainable policy.”

According to the Seattle Times, it comes down to logistics of what can logically be enforced.

“We believe a policy to eliminate nonmedical exemptions (NMEs) from measles virus alone is more justifiable, sustainable and enforceable than eliminating NMEs from all vaccines,” Opel and his colleagues wrote.

Another professional, a Portland SEO expert located in nearby Portland, Oregon, also reached out and confirmed that they were encouraged to openly ask for a measles opt out due to issues with one of their children previously having a vaccine-related incident.

This, of course,

isn’t a time for celebration. Forcing even one vaccine on the public and our children is unacceptable. But what I do enjoy is the idea that a group of Doctors is essentially dismissing a great portion of vaccines. In essence, they are saying illnesses such as pertussis just aren’t the dire situation they are often portrayed to be for the sake of mandatory vaccine legislation. In the end, this group’s proposal is terrible for pharmaceutical companies, which is something I can definitely get behind.

The American Academy of Pediatrics was immediately upset by the information. They claim that this trivializes all other vaccines which they pretend to be essential to public health.

The dark side in this proposal, of course, is delivered emphatically by a father whose daughter died from a vaccine injury.

And the plan wasn’t popular with vaccine critics, either. Michael Belkin, a Seattle-area father whose infant daughter died in 1998 after receiving recommended shots, said the new proposal is more restrictive than current vaccine requirements.

“It would strip parents of their right of informed consent — and it will face a concerted grass-roots opposition by parents who read the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-required vaccine package insert and see that the authors’ claim that the measles vaccine is safe is patently false.”

We aren’t winning in either case, clearly. Measles has led to very few deaths in comparison to vaccine injuries. We’d never support mandating it even to sacrifice or cull out other vaccines. But this offers leverage in the future because it shows Doctors stating that most vaccines are simply not necessary. That’s the play here.Photo by Ikusuki

The other day I was driving and talking to my friend about potentially going to a local steak restaurant in town that evening. When we stopped at the store, I hit Facebook mobile and quickly (and surprisingly) noticed an ad for that restaurant being displayed.

Nope, I never communicated regarding this restaurant over messenger via type. I never posted a status update over it. I don’t like the restaurant’s page on Facebook. I never comment on their statuses or anyone else who goes to the restaurant. And most odd, I’ve never seen their ads before that moment.

Strange? Well, it could be a crazy coincidence, but the truth is, I’ve noticed other suspicious examples of this. So is this due to Facebook Messenger spying on my conversations?

My suggestion: If you have messenger on your phone delete it. Then re-download it and read the terms of agreement. This is sheer lunacy. Also for those who didn’t know this one, check out this video. This news is actually about 5-7 years old.

Notice what the government has made cell phone makers do now? Notice you can’t take the battery out? Cellphone users who attempt to install the Facebook Messenger app are asked to agree to terms of service that allow the social networking giant to use the microphone on their device to record audio at any time without their permission. As the screenshot below illustrates (click to enlarge), users are made to accept an agreement that allows Facebook to “record audio with the microphone… at any time without your confirmation.”

The TOS also authorizes Facebook to take videos and pictures using the phone’s camera at any time without permission, as well as directly calling numbers, again without permission, that could incur charges. But wait, there’s more! Facebook can also “read your phone’s call log” and “read data about contacts stored on your phone, including the frequency with which you’ve called, emailed or communicated in other ways with specific individuals.”

We are running this post after taking notice of Snoop Dogg throwing support behind the movie Vaxxed. It is important to note that while his language is mostly inappropriate, he is speaking to his user base and warning them of the flu shot industry.

Snoop Dogg is a famous hardcore rapper. He isn’t exactly known for his gentle vernacular. He often uses strong language in his music. In this case, he’s not pulling any punches when it comes to flu shots. The video has graphic language, but if you are able to get past that, it is pretty funny (and really hits the mark). I’m not going to quote him here as I don’t want to offend anyone so you all can decide for yourself if you’d like to view it.

We have said time and time again that flu shots are worthless. Their high yearly failure rate is a complete travesty when you consider they almost always are marketed heavier the following year. Flu shot marketing reinvents itself using past failures as props. These shots have also been known to cause illness and injury themselves. The flu isn’t the big deal you are being led to believe that is.

Snoop is right, try some lemons and eat healthy all year and you should be fine!

After massive veterinarian vaccine campaigns by Merck, suddenly Autism in dogs is on the rise.

According to the research of Health Impact News, this has tied in with the increase in pet vaccinations.

Though the appearance of autism-like behaviors has been observed in dogs since the mid-1960s, the first researcher to specifically relate some of those behaviors to autism was Nicholas Dodman, DVM, who initially set out in 2011 to look for a genetic cause of obsessive tail chasing in bull terriers. This behavioral characteristic has been observed in as many as 85 percent of a bull terrier litter and often results in self-maiming.

Presenting the evidence from his study at the 2015 American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, Dr. Dodman reported an autism-like condition, noting that “the vast majority of affected dogs were males, and many had other strange behaviors or physical conditions that accompanied the tail chasing, such as explosive aggression, partial seizures, phobias, skin conditions, gastrointestinal issues, object fixation and a tendency to shy away from people and other dogs.” [2] He and his associates were further able to establish that two biomarkers common to children with autism were also present in the affected dogs. [3]

Referencing diagnostic criteria from the American Academy of Pediatrics, some of the most commonly recognized features of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in children include challenges associated with social interactions and communication, and “restrictive and repetitive interests and activities;” [4] boys are five times more likely than girls to have ASDs; and autism in humans also is frequently associated with aggression, gastrointestinal and skin disorders, and object fixation. [5, 6]

Solid research is lacking in the field of canine autism, but a collaborative study called “Canines, Kids, and Autism: Decoding Obsessive Behaviors in Canines and Autism in Children” is currently underway in hopes of shedding light on the condition as it occurs in children and pets. [7] Funded by The American Humane Association, researchers from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center, Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School are hoping to develop a genetic test for autism that will benefit both humans and animals. [8]

“Canine Dysfunctional Behavior” May Be Autism

Though most animal behaviorists still prefer to categorize animals with these traits as having “canine dysfunctional behavior” rather than “autism,” [9] those who concede the condition may in fact be autism describe the condition as both “idiopathic,” meaning the cause is unknown, and congenital,” meaning the puppies are born with autism behaviors rather than developing autism sometime after birth. Theorizing that the syndrome may be caused by a “lack of mirroring neurons in the brain,” studies also suggest that autism may appear in puppies as a result of parental exposure to toxins or unnecessary vaccines. [10]

Adverse Reactions to Vaccines in Dogs

From paralysis to seizures, and from immune-mediated hemolytic anemia to injection-site fibrosarcomas, adverse reactions to vaccination are not uncommon in pets. Often attributable to annual vaccinations that some veterinarians consider totally unnecessary, vaccine reactions also may lead to allergies, skin problems, behavioral changes, and autoimmune diseases. [11]

Behavioral Changes Following Vaccination

Some of the most common behavioral changes are associated with the rabies vaccine, which is the only vaccine federally mandated for pets and must be re-administered at least every three years if not annually, depending on how the vaccine is labeled. Usually the two vaccines are identical, but a vaccine labeled for one year must be given annually, even if it is exactly the same dosage and formulation as one labeled as a three-year vaccine. [12]

Many veterinarians now agree that, as a general rule, dogs who have been vaccinated once tend to retain immunity for the rest of their lives, as can be confirmed through titer testing, [13]. However, no such testing is considered acceptable proof for opting out of the required rabies vaccine, [14] so the immune systems of pets are artificially manipulated with the rabies vaccine time and again throughout their lives.

Reported changes following rabies vaccination may include those that mimic early symptoms of rabies itself such as increased aggression toward humans and other pets, loss of affectionate behaviors, excessive barking, and destructiveness. [15] Such behavioral changes are often attributed to “Rabies Miasm,” a term used to describe an underlying disease process, in this case a condition akin to a mild form of “chronic rabies.” [16]

Six years ago, Josh Hadfield, 10, from Frome in Somerset, began experiencing symptoms of Narcolepsy. He was eventually diagnosed with the illness which forever altered his life. He was another victim of the Pandemrix vaccine which turned out to be the worst part of having Swine Flu (ironically enough). Josh’s claim was initially denied causing an uproar from parents worldwide. The Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme is supposed to pay all victims £120k, but that’s based on severity and unfortunately, Josh was deemed “not severe enough” by the institution. Josh also suffers from Cataplexy which affects his use of muscles.

According to BBC.com, Josh’s mother, Caroline Hadfield, is happy regarding the decision but remains frustrated by the long process it took to reach it.

Ms Hadfield said: “It will help secure Josh’s future. It’s just a shame we had to jump through this amount of hoops to get this far.”

She said her son was “coping” and had to have “one to two sleeps” during the school day.

“Josh has had to work incredibly hard because he misses lessons due to sleep and medical appointments,” she said.

She added he had also had a large weight gain caused by the condition and his medication.

As usual, the sum of awarded money is never enough to make up for a life altered forever. Josh’s case is another example, both overseas and domestically, of ridiculous and unsavory behavior exhibited by the powers that be presiding over these cases, often making parents and children wait years on end for any awards. The pharmaceutical industry, all the while, sitting out of harms way under the umbrella of protection and immunity.

While we are clearly happy for Josh, it is difficult to celebrate something which could have been prevented. This is yet another classic example where the vaccine is more dangerous than the actual illness it touts to protect us all from.

As we’ve discussed ad nauseam on this site, President Trump is making waves in the vaccination community. His appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a newly formed Vaccine Safety Community has sent shivers down the spines of hardcore mandatory vaccination proponents. With mandatory vaccine legislation on slate in a variety of states, there is a lot on the line in concern with how Trump might approach this matter.

The mainstream media is commonly known to be staunchly supportive of mandatory vaccination legislation. This morning in the NY Times, Dan Rather, who recently came out of retirement to continually attack Trump, attacked the anti-vaccination movement, claiming “It’s looking as if 2017 could be the year when the anti-vaccination movement gains ascendancy in the United States and we begin to see a reversal of several decades in steady public health gains.”

Rather goes on to say that “Measles is one of the most contagious and most lethal of all human diseases.” Rather’s tone becomes even more aggravated when he attacks Trump for “giving credence to to such views [vaccines cause autism].”

Rather also details his fear of being a resident of Texas, where he believes a massive measles outbreak is imminent due to Texas’ parental rights stance.

You can read Rather’s full op-ed here, but I warn you, it’s eerily similar to all his previous rhetoric condemning anything associated with Trump.

One thing is for sure, Trump is going to continue to rattle the system. There is no end in sight. And vaccines safety is now going to be mandated as a true process to work for the people, rather than for the pharmaceutical companies.

Of course, when Rather was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly of Fox News, Rather held a much different opinion over the matter of lying.

“Who among us have not lied about something?” Rather explained.

“I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.”
